39 Energy & Carbon Footprint Our primary product—metal packaging—embodies sustainability in its manufacture and its contributions to the Circular Economy. While effective management and conservation of resources have always been the bedrock of Crown’s operations, as our global footprint has grown and production volumes have increased, these principles have taken on new meaning. We know that operating unsustainably is detrimental to long-term success and impacts profitability and our reputation with our key stakeholders. As such, we rely on an environmental management system to help us manage compliance, reduce costs and increase efficiencies. OUR PERFORMANCE The charts on this page and the next page detail our progress in primary environmental metrics for the products that we manufacture. They include data from 2019 to 2021 to align with the current reporting period; the 2019 data also represents the baseline for our Twenty by 30 goals. For data prior to 2019, please review the archived sustainability reports on our Corporate website.

CROWN’S 360 END ® Crown's 360 End ® combines both food and beverage end technology to design a drinking experience for the consumer with significant environmental advantages. With this design, the entire lid of the beverage can is removed, turning the metal can itself into a drinking cup and eliminating the need for single-use plastic cups. In addition, the can filling process and supply chain are identical to that of conventional beverage cans. One final advantage makes the new container ideally suited for the beer industry, as the 360 End ® improves the flavor of the beer by allowing the full aroma of the beer to hit the drinker’s senses when drinking directly from the can.
